This book explores the contribution to recent developments in
post-secularism, philosophical realism and utopianism made by key
thinkers in the Hegelian tradition. It challenges dominant
assumptions about what the relationship between religion and our
so-called "secular age" should be that have sought to reduce or
even eliminate religiosity from the public sphere. It draws upon
utopian thinkers within the Hegelian tradition whose work has
challenged this narrow secularism. In particular it explores the
importance of philosophical transcendence to Hegelian and
post-Hegelian religious, social and political theorising. This
includes philosophers whose thinking is sympathetic or at least
compatible with transcendence (such as Hegel, Taylor, Bhaskar and
Bloch) but also those who have a reputation for rejecting
transcendence and instead embracing immanence and even atheism
(Feuerbach, Marx and Engels). By drawing on the utopian content of
these thinkers it seeks to shed new light on the importance
religious ideas have played in a range of philosophical positions
within the broadly Hegelian tradition from theism, idealism,
materialism and atheism to new ideas, especially new research on
Hegel's so-called "panentheism". The book will be of interest to
those working in the areas of post-secularism and utopian studies.
It should also be of interest to academics and students of the
recent turn within Critical Realism to "meta-reality" and its
implications for Hegelianism and Marxism.
